Some handy code that I can put in a VBA module that will convert all text within a Spreadsheet to Proper or Sentence like this ---> Hello Everyone, Hope You Are All Happy.
I have just recently found that I can do case correction with Excel but I am manually having to do it how can I add it to my macro? The function for doing it does not seem straight forward to me on putting in macro I am sure it is simple but just missing some element of it.
I need to have Proper case for columns C, G and H from rows 11 and down.
I am using this macro to ensure that a range of cells appear in Proper Case. However I am encountering a drawback, sometimes I have text which I want in Upper Case but which is changed into Proper Case. I was wondering if there was a way to work around this. Example: Practical W/W appears as W/w or Woodturing (GMC) appears as Woodtrunign(gmc)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Forces text to Proper case for the range A15:A40 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A15:A40")) Is Nothing Then Application.EnableEvents = False Target = StrConv(Target, vbProperCase) Application.EnableEvents = True End If On Error Goto 0 End Sub
I know the PROPER function will convert all text to capitalise each word, is there a formula that can convert only the first letter to caps and the rest to lower case?
How do I enforce for ranges A1:A10 and C1:C10 that whatever is entered in these cells is changed to sentence case, i.e. "today it is Raining." will change to "Today it is raining.".
I thought of having helper columns with the following formula that would then paste over the ranges on a Workbook.close event but it seems long-winded and not the right way of doing it.
I found this bit of Worksheet_Change code to change the target area to UpperCase. This works fine.
If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(2)) Is Nothing Then Set rng1 = Intersect(Target, Columns(2)) Set rng2 = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, rng1) For Each cell In rng2 If cell.Formula "" Then cell.Formula = Format(cell.Formula, ">") End If Next cell End If I could not find anything telling me what the ">" means. I'm assuming that it is a special symbol/wildcard for UCase in VBA.
My question(s), is there a symbol for ProperCase so I can use the same code, just making it change the Target column to Proper? Also is there a list of the special symbols.
When I asked this question before, I was looking for a way to automate the exemptions on a UserForm. At that time I realized that automation was not a good choice and went with a CommandButton to turn off the Proper case for that entry. I am now trying to do the same thing on a Worksheet change event using this
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Target.Column < 1 Or Target.Column > 9 Then Exit Sub On Error Goto Errhndl Application.EnableEvents = False If Target.Column = 1 Then Target.Value = Application.Proper(Target.Value) If Target.Column = 2 Then Target.Value = Application.Proper(Target.Value) If Target.Column = 3 Then Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value) If Target.Column = 4 And Target.Value > "" Then Target.Value = UCase(Left(Target.Value, 2)) & "-" & Right(Target.Value, 2) If Target.Column = 8 Then Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value) If Target.Column = 9 Then Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value) Application.EnableEvents = True Exit Sub Errhndl: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub
My problem is with Target.Column = 1. I need a way to disable the proper case for a single row. I tried to use an additional column (J) and place a x in that row, but I could not figure out how to detect if there was anything in that column for the target row.
I want to force a UserForm TextBox to format the text typed in to have the first letter of each sentence capitalized and all other letters to be lower case when I exit the TextBox.
I have a number of textboxes into which I enter the surname of individuals ... at present the textboxes are set to store all names in Uppercase. Is there coding to return names beginning Mc... or Mac... ie McClOUD or MacDONALD, in the more recognized format. I am sure this has been included in the forum but could not find it in a search of the site.
Is it possible to modify this code to exclude the first sheet in the workbook which is called Costs?
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Forces text to Proper case for the range A14:A39 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A14:A39")) Is Nothing Then Application.EnableEvents = False Target = StrConv(Target, vbProperCase) Application.EnableEvents = True End If On Error Goto 0
End Sub '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Forces text to Proper case for the range A14:A39
How can I extend proper() to NOT change "PO Box 333" to "Po Box 333". Ideally, I would like to supply a list of words such as PO and all the 2 letter directionals (NE,NW,SE,SW).
There are also cases such as a last name of MacNamara which should have a capital M and N. Even worse, I see that 3rd becomes 3Rd which is very sad.
When using the PROPER function, it capitalizes the first letter in a text string and any other letters in text that follow any character other than a letter, and converts all other letters to lowercase.
However, if A1 contains the text "2-cent's worth"; then =PROPER(A1) will return the following result: "2-Cent'S Worth".
Is there a way to prevent the PROPER function from capitalizing the first letter following the apostrophe?
Below is the existing code that I'm working with and would like to be able to make the ' name' column either Upper or Proper case on entry. I haven't decided which I'm going to use yet.
Set r = Sheet1.Range("A2:C65536") If Not Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then sTgt = Trim(Target.Value) If sTgt = "" Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target.Column Case NmCol If InStr(sTgt, ",") = 0 Then iSpc = InStrRev(sTgt, " ") Target.Value = Mid(sTgt, iSpc + 1) & ", " & Left(sTgt, iSpc - 1) End If
I have a worksheet which is populated from a macro using the following code.
Code:
Sheets("Create Sub Contractor").Range("B6:B65").Copy With Sheets("Sub Contractor Information").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) .PasteSpecial (xlValues), Transpose:=True End With
The problem is that some of what is being copied needs to be Proper and Some Upper, therefore I cant use a paste special option.
What I'd like to be able to do is format the columns in the destination sheet ("Sub Contractor Information") from row 4 down to what ever format they need to be individually as there are some columns that are numbers, some text and numbers........
I would like to format a row of cells so that when a word is entered into the cell it automatically becomes a capital.
I need the word to be capitalized so that I can use it in a custom function. The function uses the word from this cell and goes through a bunch of cases in determing how to classify the string.
I think more than one solution is possible and I would greatly appreciate some feed back, I've tried looking into turning all the letters of a string in my VBA code to capitals, or a way to format the cells, so that the string is already capitalized when entered into the VBA code, but I'm still a novice at VBA and unsure on how certain commands work.
here is a sample of my vba code.
Function WeightI(Shape As String, sDim As String, dLenFt As Double) As Double Const pi As Double = 3.14159265358979 Const Ft2In As Double = 12 Const dDen As Double = 0.2835 ' density of steel, pounds per cubic inch
In my worksheet there are ranges A3:C37, E3:E37, J3:K37 and P3:P37 that all contain text that I would like to automatically change to proper case once the user leaves any of the referenced cells.
I have tried various codes form this forum and searched for hours on the net for a solution to do this but no matter what I do/try nothing works (for long)
Another forum user did help me out with some code but there was an issue with column C, L & O (which are set as drop down lists) and when the code was put into the workbook these columns stopped working and froze the app.
I've got a pretty intense macro already written, a lot of Select Case components. At the end, if nothing matches I'd like to just copy the cell above to the cell below. However, there is a range of about 400 cells in length, so I'd need some sort of wildcard for range.
Rows("2:2").Select Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove Dim Cell As Variant For Each Cell In Range("A1:OL1") Select Case Cell.Value Case "Eng1" Cell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "Engine One" tons more in the middle here Case Else Cell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "N/A"
Rather then returning "N/A", how could I reference the cell above and just copy it instead?
I have a Excel text document that I compile from multiple sources, and if they don't leave a "white space" before a "/", "-", or "(" the Proper Case command does not capitalize the word that immediately follows that symbol.
I decided to try to change it into a Case Statement. Here is what I have now. But the problem seems to be this time at this line: When I have "01" in C5 the script just keeps going?
For the following code, I'm getting the " Case without Select Case" error (On Case 3 to 5...assuming more are wrong too, but debug can't get there yet). I thought I had it right, obviously don't. Can anyone spot how my code is wrong? ....
I have a rather frustrating issue that dates a few months back, so I hope to solve it today. The following code tests a value in Column A. If the value is between 1-5 or equal to 11, column B will return the string A. It works.
I have found the code below that is very good and changes the case size to Upper, Proper or Lower. The problem is that when I select a cell, range of cells, column or row it changes the entire sheet instead of the selected range.
Code: Sub CaseSize() Dim myCase, rng As Range, r As Range myCase = Application.InputBox("Enter" & vbLf & "1 for Upper Case" & vbLf & _ "2 for Lower Case" & vbLf & "3 for Proper Case", Type:=1) If (myCase = False) + (Not myCase Like "[1-3]") Then Exit Sub On Error Resume Next
